This book came at the best time for me.
I have had a very rough few days.
I thought it would be months before I could smile or feel happy again.
Reading this book, Dean and Chloe’s story,
Brought a smile to my face.
It even got a squeal out of me.
So thank you Crystal for that and for continuing to write perfect book after perfect book.
As always, I am now impatiently waiting for the next book.
I would highly recommend this book.
Happy reading!
Rating 5 stars
Dean! We have been waiting to hear his story. He was Chloe’s first. That was seven years ago. They never talked again. She’s the only one he ever thought twice about. Now she’s back. Loved these two together. Dean isn’t such a bad guy and Chloe doesn’t take any crap off of him. Loved this story!
I love Dean and Chloe! Dean is hilarious!!! You will be rooting for the 2 of them. This book deals with some tough subjects with humor, love and snarkiness. I hated for this book to end!!
This was another page Turner. I didn’t want to put it down once I’d started it .
This was one of my favorites of the series! It was just freaking sexy hot chemistry, emotional, funny, everything in a little box with a HEA to die for!!!
I’ve been waiting for Dean and Chloe’s book for what seems like forever and I can say, I’m no disappointed. In reading the previous books in the Inked Hearts series, you have this picture of Dean in your head – and most of the time he comes off as a jerk. I can say after this book, Dean has redeemed himself. What a great read!! Love Crystal and all her books. I received an advanced copy of this manuscript and am voluntarily leaving an honest review.
What a great book. It’s emotional, real, raw, and the perfect balance between fun and serious. Dean is just the right amount of smoking-hot, take-charge, and yet vulnerable and supportive in all the right ways. I related to Chloe more than I probably felt comfortable admitting to myself, especially when faced with unfathomable circumstances and having to choose which path to go – selfish or unselfish. If you haven’t already, I’d say this one is worth picking up. Like right now. And gran your tissues, you’ll probably need them.
Even the sexy, smart alec deserves a HEA
What is it about enemies to lovers that is so irresistible? This book has whatever the magic is. We finally meet the girl who is Dean’s weakness. Chloe is almost a female version of Ryan. All black, Doc wearing, tiny bundle of strength, sassy, talent, and, loves to hate Dean. And Dean. He’s is usual hot, smart-alec self…but he isn’t the shop hussy once Chloe comes into the picture. This book has the sexy, snarky, sparky, fun with that touch of tragic and survivors that Crystal does so well. Delicious.
I have read all of Crystal Kaswell’s books and I thought I knew what to expect. I was wrong. I’ve never been happier to be wrong!! Go into this book with your expectations checked at the door. This book was well written with a great and original storyline that was executed to perfection. I’m so in love with Dean. He broke my swoony swoon meter. Such an amazing character and his hot factor definitely helps. I certainly couldn’t release him to anyone with less worth or being as perfect for him as Chloe. Seriously, they are meant to be wonderfulness!! Just read and see for yourself how great this series is and this book is the best.
This has to be my favorite book in the series. Dean was the playboy with a closed heart. Chloe was the badass suffering and just trying to find her way again. I love second chance romances and this one hit the mark. Dean always had a sassy don’t give a damn attitude in the past books. It was wonderful to finally get to know him and see him get his happily ever after. I loved Chloe. She was strong and fierce. I wasn’t a fan of how she kept trying to push people away whenever things got rough but I could understand why. The banter between these two was fun! I’m glad I got the chance to read their HEA.
Never in a million years thought I’d love Dean, but the author is a genius and she made me love his sexy ass. This is a stand-alone, but it’ll be better if you read the other books first. You’ll understand my review then, too! Lol
A powerful emotional book that will take your heart on an emotional roller coaster. Dean and Chloe’s story is a slow burn that is beautiful and heartfelt.
Favorite quote: Chloe’s Dad to Chloe ~ “This is life, baby girl. The highs and lows. The pain that knocks you off course and the bliss that rights your ship. Loving someone, having that time with them, it’s worth anything.”
It says a lot about how much you love a book when, as soon as you finish it, you immediately download and start reading the first book in the series so you can enjoy the whole thing properly!
This book is funny, sexy, heartbreaking, sweet and romantic. Dean and Chloe are an amazing couple. Their banter is hysterical and their bond amazing.
The book is well balanced. The sad, worrisome, heartbreaking parts are balanced out with romance, humor and hot sex.
A great book to read over the weekend, you won’t have to put it down or worry about sleep!
The queen of bad boys, witty writing and banter does it again. Highly recommend!
I received this book as an Advanced Review Copy but I’m voluntarily leaving this review. This is book 4 of the Inked Heart series by Crystal Kaswell. The whole series is excellent. You can tell she puts alot of her heart and soul into all her books but this book I feel is more touching than the others. Chloe and Dean go through some tough breaks but don’t worry it’s one of those hea books. This is definitely a book I would recommend. It has comedy, romance, drama and some really hot sex scenes. All great combinations when your reading your book.
A great read by Crystal Kaswell in her Inked Hearts series! Dean- what to say about Dean- you really do love to hate him. His sass and attitude- hot but annoying! Chloe- wanting a change in her life- goes to the tattoo shop to apprentice. Dean and Chloe went to high school together and have history where Chloe was heartbroken. Dean has never forgotten her in 7 years.
This book has so many emotions- between the bantering, laughter, family support, steamy scenes- Dean and Chloe develop a real relationship where Dean not only takes Chloe heart but the readers too. It has twist and turns that keep readers turning the pages. Love the Inked Heart family!
Another great read in this series. There are extensive overt sexual scenes throughout this novel, yet, I do not feel they overpowered the thrust of the story: the romance and love story between the two main male and female characters. The character development is excellent. Ms. Kaswell brings back the characters from her previous novels in this series. I really enjoy writers doing this kind of an overlap and interchange between stories. The repartee between all the characters in the story is fast-paced, wicked and sassy; but especially so with the two main male and female characters. There is just something about Ms. Kaswell’s writing that makes the reader just want to hang on every word and read the novel in one sitting. There are a number of emotions evoked in this novel, but with respect to some very poignant parts, Ms. Kaswell deals these scenes with innate sensitivity. After reading her book dedication I certainly can see why these sections are so powerfully written. I must admit, I had a pile of tissues beside me by the time I finished reading this novel.
Excellent reading! 🙂
